There really isn’t any mature way to put this so we are going to retreat back to fanboy name calling to make the point. “lol PS3 fansite fail” Okay let’s get back to being moderately serious now. There has been quite a bit said recently about Microsoft’s marketing budget and how the Final Fantasy XIII marketing campaign seems to be …

Over the weekend, Square Enix released a good deal of screenshots. These were intended to highlight the comparative lack of differences between the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. Many were taken aback at the similarity between the shoots, knowing how difficult it is to obtain image quality parity over different architectures. What an achievement on the …

The numbers are in for January and it’s easy to see that a ton of games were moved thanks to so many publishers holding their games out for the first quarter of 2010. Of those games, the most impressive of the lot is Mass Effect 2, which we already reported as outselling everything else 6-1. While only having a couple …

Users of the PSN will be pleased to hear that Sony has integrated a new system to invite multiple people into a game on the Playstation 3. The new system uses the chatroom function and basically allows all the people in the chat room to be invited to a game. At the moment - and honestly one of Sony's biggest problems right now - is that the only games supported are Bioshock 2, the AvP demo and Call of Duty Classic. This sounds like a great new addition, but what does it help if it isn't quickly rolled out for all of the games on PSN. While I think that Sony really need to start making everything that they do work universally, I still think that this is a nice new addition and one that will come in handy to a lot of people in future. Let's just get this thing working for every game now. You can find out how it works, see images and get more information on how to use it through the source link below.

The first reviews for Heavy Rain are rolling in and so I decided to give them all a look to see how things are going. A lot of the reviews are saying that Heavy Rain isn't really a game, but more of an interactive movie experience, and a lot are quick to point out that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I must say that my excitement for Heavy Rain has been building up very steadily over the last couple of months and I can't wait to get my hands on the game. Let's have a look at how it's doing. The current Metacritic rating for Heavy Rain is sitting on 93/100 with its highest review score coming from the Official US Playstation Magazine with a sparkling 10/10. The lowest score comes from PSM3 Magazine UK who have given it an 88/100 and say that "It's essentially a nine-hour film that you nudge along by following on-screen button prompts, although you feel more connected with the action than this might suggest." Heavy Rain seems to be something new and different, which means that I am all for it. GamePro had the following to say about Heavy Rain, which I found quite interesting: It's barely a game in the popular sense of the word, but Quantic Dream's masterpiece makes groundbreaking strides in storytelling and character development, demonstrating that interactive entertainment still has a deep well of untapped potential. This game has really got me interested, even if people are saying that it's more of an interactive story than anything, I like where it's going. What about you guys? Who's getting it on day one? Anyone not interested or having second thoughts? Comment below.

The multiplayer demo for Aliens vs Predator is out and lots of you out there have downloaded it to feel it out for yourself.
